2015 Map of Gravel Hill

About this map

The boundary between Leflore Co and Carroll Co splits a landscape of flat delta plains and rising loess bluffs. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of rural settlement anchored by historic family and community burying grounds. Significant sites like Sharkey Pate Cem and Smiths Chapel Cem are tucked into the drainages of Merrill Br and Abotcaputa Cr, illustrating the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of this area. The northwestern corner transitions into the flatlands supporting the Greenwood-Leflore Airport, while the eastern portion climbs into the higher elevations of Millers Hill and Steen Hill. These small communities, including Gravel Hill and Seven Pines, remain connected by a dense network of county roads like Fairview Rd and Co Road 169, which follow the contours of the rolling upland terrain.
